Durham residents coping with
cancer are invited to take part in a
weekend retreat aimed at healing.
Hearth Place Cancer Support
Centre is offering a Skills for
Healing Cancer event facilitated by
Dr. Rob Rutledge, radiation oncologist
at the Nova Sco tia Cancer
Centre, and his colleague Tim
Walker, Ph.D.
The free retreat, which will take
place in the comfy environment of
Hearth Place in Oshawa, will offer
cancer patients and one primary
caregiver effective coping strategies,
including meditation and
relaxation exercises and stress
reduction techniques.
Patients will
get a chance to connect with others
who are going through the same difficult
experience and offer and
receive support, which helps to
reduce isolation.
Due to limited space availability,
a $40 deposit is required and will be
returned at the end of the weekend.
Participants must also commit to
attend the whole weekend.
